CSR

Turn your CSR obligations into a competitive advantage! We provide comprehensive support to meet or anticipate all the requirements of the CSRD and CS3D directives.

European regulatory changes require companies to profoundly transform their practices concerning sustainability and corporate responsibility. At De Gaulle Fleurance, we support you in anticipating these new requirements, transforming obligations into strategic opportunities, and ensuring compliance.

Duty of Vigilance: A Proactive Approach to Mitigating Impacts

Strengthened Framework under the CS3D Directive

Since the adoption of the European CS3D (Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive) in May 2024, the regulatory framework on the duty of vigilance has significantly tightened. Inspired by the French law of 2017, this directive requires companies and their partners to prevent, mitigate, or stop negative impacts on human rights, health, and the environment.

Our Expertise in Duty of Vigilance

Our lawyers assist you at every step:

  • Developing and Implementing Your Vigilance Plan: Risk mapping, subcontractor assessments, preventive actions, and monitoring measures.
  • Audit and Evaluation: Analysis and benchmarking of your plan’s compliance.
  • Stakeholder Engagement: Support in engaging shareholders and partners on your CSR challenges.
  • Pre-litigation and Litigation: Handling formal notices and disputes related to your obligations.
  • Preparation for CS3D Obligations: Team, executive committee, and board training on upcoming requirements.

With our expertise, we help you meet your obligations while enhancing your responsible commitment.
